I'm sure I'm not the only one who found this out, but I'm in my 5th playthrough and just learned someting about pearson's stew I didn't know.

If you upgrade the camp with a chicken coup, and keep bringing him big game meat for food donations (and ONLY big game), everytime you eat the stew, you will get BOTH a gold health core and a gold dead-eye core for 1.5 days. This is the most nutritious meal in the game. The seasoned big game you cook yourself only yields a gold core for 1 day.

I totally did. And loved hitting stunt jumps along the way.
